Recently, the team of France's "Ligue 1" has been playing more successfully, and one of the reasons for this is the successful game of Lithuanian national team striker Edgaras Jankauskas.

The Lithuanian arrived at Nice's team at the end of August when he was loaned out for the season, but he only debuted in "Ligue 1" in the last round. Earlier, the striker could not enter the field due to an injury suffered during the national team's match against San Marino, in which Jankauskas scored 2 goals.

Although he broke his tradition of scoring a goal in his debut match, his successful game brings joy to Nice fans - in the 8th round of matches held this weekend with the Lithuanian, who had just recovered from injury, he simply shone on the field.

Jankauskas started the match in the starting lineup and directly contributed to both team goals. In the third minute of the match, Jankauskas provoked opponents' mistake, after which Sebastien Roudet sent the ball into the "Rennes" goal.

In the 26th minute, Jankauskas was fouled again, but this time in the penalty area, and the referee awarded a penalty kick, which was successfully converted. In the 53rd minute, the Lithuanian national team striker provoked another mistake - Cyril Jeunechamp, who played harshly against him, saw a red card.

After such a football show, Jankauskas was confidently chosen as the best player of the match, further strengthening his position in "Ligue 1."
